Mike – the floor tile is an American Olean Field Tile: Highland Ridge – Evergreen. The backsplash is a natural slate.
Good luck with your project.

I was wondering if you could tell me what tile you used? I am looking for something similar… Very nice job!

Monica – The color is Benjamin Moore Kendall Charcoal (HC-166) in a Matte finish. I think the Matte finish is very important — even a flat finish in a deep color will reflect light; an eggshell will reflect a lot of light and will both appear much lighter but will also show off every blemish of the wall. And, of course, you should try it out first. Paint takes on a completely different appearance based on natural and artificial light. You might need a different paint color to achieve the same effect in your basement. Good luck!
